She put out pictures of her and her family donning red MAGA hats and at least one of them sporting a “blue lives matter” shirt on an Instagram carousel. Although the actress was not wearing anything inappropriate and the hats read “Make Sixty Great Again,” admirers on Twitter expressed serious worries.
Many claimed Sweeney posted hate symbols with too much comfort. Other users backed the actress, stating that she may not share her family’s politics and opinions. Post all of this; she has been a victim of numerous online trolls and memes.
People on the Internet are joking around her family’s connection to the Jan 6 riot. With videos of her trying to avoid a question, the captions say things like, ‘when Sweeney is asked about her relative’s whereabouts on the night of Jan 6’.
Concerned about all this, one of the Twitteratti tweets, “This Sydney Sweeny shit is so crazy bc no way in hell would you catch me happy next to my family members who support racist shit. Unfortunately, the truth is almost everyone has problematic family members. It doesn’t mean you have to like them tho!!!!”
On the contrary to it, another one writes, “Did nobody realize Sydney Sweeny was white? Maybe y’all didn’t notice or something”
